The Rise of Technological Dependencies

Technology has been expanding and developing exponentially since the day of it's birth. Back then, you have to carry kilograms of weight just to have 120mb of disk space. And in the early 2000's, The largest memory a laptop could have is around 280Gb. Nowadays, since technology has evolved, 1 Terabyte of space (1,000 gigabytes) could fit in a 1 inch by 60mm casing. With that kind of memory storage, a lot of small devices could fit tons of applications and programs that simple people may use to help them with everyday tasks. But every good has it's bad.

It's agreeable that science makes our work easier and faster, but that does not always mean for the better of our selves and social environment. The social networking websites are for people who wants to be MORE social or for those who ARE NOT very social and wants to be. Sadly, these social networking sites and applications just pulls people away from their peers and more into the application. Everybody would know how it feels to be fully ignored by their tech-consumed friends in the middle of a group work.

People needs the satisfaction of other people giving likes. Some people would rather see how many likes they got and compare to other people, and they use this type of approval from others to establish a higher social status. On another note, people nowadays depend on apps to do everything. Sometimes it's helpful, but after a few weeks, it just gets annoying. Who uses waze for 2 weeks for the same route and destination ?! Also, it is much better to taste the food yourself rather than reading reviews. Reviews help, by the way, but not dependable .

Technology will soon consume us until it makes us create its own body. It is slowly killing us as well as we kill the environment. Mobile devices are useful, yes, but not to the point that these devices should do all the work, to the point that we forget about out health.Technology, especially in small devices are excellent, but never should be dependable.
